Biofabrication of Vaginal Support Using Vaginally Derived Cells

The Biofabrication of Vaginal Support Using Vaginally Derived Cells (BioLIFT) feasibility study is looking at whether it is possible to grow ligaments in a laboratory from cells taken from a woman’s vagina during surgery. If this is possible, then the researchers will study whether the ligaments could be used in a vaginal or uterine prolapse repair surgery for that same woman to improve how long the surgical repair lasts.
